ECW Results for w/c 1st April 2008
Shelton Benjamin's music hit and Shelton stepped out on stage to join Chavo. Shelton took the mic and asked, "Are you feeling lucky, Punk?" Everyone groaned. Shelton said the only reason why Punk has that briefcase because two men tipped him over the top rope through a ladder. After a very long pause, Shelton said a normal man would be laid up in the hospital. But he's the gold standard. Punk said he looks forward to that, Goldilocks. And he also looks forward to proving why he's Money in the Bank and Shelton isn't.


In-ring: Chavo Guerrero came to the ring for the main event. Shelton Benjamin then came out second to join him. Punk led out the babyface team, and Styles asked what kind of shape Punk can be in after MITB on Sunday and wrestling Jericho last night on Raw. Kane did his entrance to round out the field.

3 -- ECW champ KANE & C.M. PUNK vs. CHAVO GUERRERO & SHELTON BENJAMIN


Hard-hitting action early on, as all four men traded blows before Kane dumped Shelton to the outside. Kane then dumped Chavo over the top rope to the floor and the babyfaces stood tall before a break.



[Commercial Break]



They returned with Punk and Kane trading control working over Shelton. Punk blocked a splash in the corner and tried the G2S, but Chavo held onto the ropes long enough for Shelton to smash him with a kick. Chavo then went to work on Punk's back and shoulders at 10:00.



[Q5 -- over-run]



Punk tried to fight out of the heel corner, but Chavo cut him off and Shelton continued the beating on Punk. Chavo got caught in the corner and Punk smashed him with a running knee and bulldog. Punk finally made it to the corner and made the hot tag to Kane, who cleaned house. He ran into a back elbow from Shelton, then Shelton punted him in the chest. Kane shook it off and landed a big boot to the chest for good measure. Kane then went up top, but Chavo ran into the corner and crotched him. Punk then tagged himself in and smashed Shelton with a kick to the face. He followed with the Go 2 Sleep, then made the cover for the pin and the win. Afterward, Chavo talked trash on the outside while Kane and Punk stood tall in the ring.



WINNERS: Kane & Punk in 15:00. Good main event match to re-establish the key players on the ECW brand going forward from WrestleMania. Not going to draw big ratings, but it gives ECW an identity each week. (**)
